Hi guys! I can show you guys my daily routine as a parent.

So, let’s get started!

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

I always wake up at 6:30.

I open the curtains.

And get dressed . . . then I put my hair up . . . and put my make up on.

Then I go and wake my daughter, Ruby, up.

Emily: “Wake up, Ruby. It’s time to go to grandma’s.”

Emily: “Ruby, breakfast is ready.”

I put my shoes on.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

When I get home, I have to do the dishwasher.

Then I have to do some washing . . . then hang them on the line to dry.

And last of all, I need to do some hoovering.

Time for a cup of tea.

Emily: Ruby, tea time.

That was a really busy day.
